Nine essays, presented by Sikor (development studies, U. of East Anglia, UK) and Lund (international development studies, Roskilde U., Denmark), explore the complex relationships between property, political authority, and access to resources, such as the way that property is only property if socially legitimate institutions sanction it and the way that institutions are effectively legitimized is if their interpretation of social norms such as property rights are heeded, as well as the complexities that arise from the distinction between authority and power in the control over access to resources. Specific topics include negotiations over land rights and social belonging and the constitution of authority in West Africa, property rights and the construction of ethnic identity in Indonesia, the construction of authority in land administration in a Peruvian comunidad campesina, struggles over authority in relation to competing claims on forests in rural Senegal, social power and its impacts on a land registration and titling program in rural Nicaragua, negotiations over access and property in the large-scale land reform programs of post-socialist Albania and Romania, and contestations over authority between two kinds of irrigation institutions in Indonesia.
